I just visited this sandwich shop and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience—so much so that my family and I walked out without ordering. This used to be one of my favorite spots, and I even convinced my family to give it a try today. Sadly, it’ll probably be our last visit.

When we arrived, the young man working behind the counter didn’t greet us, even after we stood there waiting for about five minutes. He was busy with prep tasks, which at first seemed routine—but what we observed next raised serious concerns.

He was refilling the lettuce container, but instead of using fresh ingredients, he picked up loose pieces from the counter and added them to the serving bin. That was questionable, but what followed was worse: he washed his hands quickly, without soap, then put on new gloves. After disappearing into the back briefly, he returned rubbing his shirt and face, scraped debris off the counter with his bare hand, caught it in the other, and dumped it into the lettuce container again.

At that point, we told him this was extremely unsanitary. He and another staff member simply nodded and said nothing. No apology, no corrective action.

We left immediately and won’t be returning. I hate to leave a negative review, but I can’t recommend this place given what we witnessed.

Employee doesn’t change gloves after touching register and continue with the next costumer with the same gloves touching the veggies and bread and touch the register again , very unsanitary

Friendly and accommodating service producing nicely stacked sandwiches. These are *wide* sandwiches piled with meat and fresh toppings! My takeout footlong weighed 2.4 lbs when I put it on the scale at home. Whoa. So good! The Triple Play is my favorite and the Prairie bread was a good choice for a dark option. I need to be coming here more often. Totally satisfied.

A tad expensive but well worth it. Always tastes super fresh and the people are always very nice. Large seating area that’s never busy. Go for the Peppered Club.

Great sandwich! Loved the bread options & fresh ingredients. Large variety of chips & drinks. And the establishment was clean.

Staff is very friendly and the food was amazing!

Sandwiches are good and fresh. Fast food has gotten so expensive.

Needless to say, I'm never going back to this Submarina again. Neither of those 2 should be making $20 an hour. Slow, unfriendly, place was uninviting.

I should have just walked out when I saw the long line. No one was being greeted when they walked in. There was a person waiting for door dash and when I started to get closer to the order counter. 2 people left. Even waiting I had my order online for urban café. I should have just sent yes because it took about the same about of time. Plus I really wanted submarina.

I was about to order my toppings and the cashier(kid) was ringing up the lady in front of me with cash and touching the register. Does he change his gloves?? Of course not. He then begins to touch my sandwich with those same gloves. Everyone here needs to be retrained because if I was the health department walking in on my lunch break. I would shut this place down.

I don't know what happened to this Submarina location but the last 3 times we ordered the DOUBLE MEAT (PILED HIGH) French Dip we got what actually looked like half the meat it should have had for a regular order. I love the quality of their food but I will no longer pay $18 for a sandwhich that is supposed to be DOUBLE instead of half!
